Acapulco Presents... Delightful Missives from the World of Music "Criticism"

[Sukebe GG]

Good lord...just to highlight the idiocy:

You might also question how Kate Biggars, in a fairer world, a perennial contender for top-ten placement on ?Women Who Rock? lists, feels about these easy-come-easy-go bandmates, all younger and more overtly decorative, none able to manipulate even a single effects pedal, let alone the set that Biggars works, two-footed, while thrashing her whole body in thrall to the song. It?s a feminist conundrum, certainly, that one of the bands that has showcased a genuine female threat for the longest also pads its roster with eye candy, but there it is, our imperfect world again.

As a Major Stars and TV fan in general, I don't think I have thought for one second about their relative attractiveness as I click through live videos, searching for one with good sound...Are the seven other people who still care about Twisted Village that shallow?? More than pitting them against each other, he's accusing Rogers of pandering and public humiliation of his SO...

He is a She, not that matters that much as idiocy is gender neutral.  Also, I happen to know for a fact that every Major Stars singer is a fucking effects pedal virtuoso.

What a strange, reckless review. My girlfriend was the OG piece of 'eye candy' employed by the band; she is puzzled by the speculation contained therein.

Speak for yourself, like I'm gonna waste time going to see Major Stars just to see Wayne Rogers and some old lady....gimme some EYE CANDY!

I let her know how fucked up I thought it was and I think some other folks did as well.

Social Justice Warrior!

*Rock Band Edition*

Not sure why I found that a bit revolting for a minute.  But if you write dumb shit then I just might point it out.  And if you use social media to promote the dumb shit that you wrote and then don't respond then I will keep pointing it out.

[erickelric]

Damn Dave, just a joke!

I realize everyone's on pins n' needles these days.

For the record, I agree with your take for the most part. It's also without a doubt easier to write a letter to the editor these days. But there are no editors! Just empty desks.

No worries, I think of Termbo as my safe space so I knew it was, I was truly surprised that it bugged me. Jeff Dahl: rocker's conundrum!

Yes - just listened to it
Great stuff I've come to expect from them
I didn't hear the album before this one but I think that I like this singers voice better than Sandra's half of Return to form
I'm not sure if she's the same singer on the second half of Return To Form - but that was some great singing there... "The space you know" etc

On an unrelated note I wish that somebody would please reissue luxurious bags' frayed knots
